Add it Up - PA

Language
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.

Beginning with the letters "pa", add one letter from the given pool to create a new word until you get a six-letter word meaning "of few and scattered elements". Do not scramble the letters as you add them. There may be more than one path to reach the final word. The hint offers definitions for one path.
